Shire of Kalamunda harnessing young artists throughout September

AS a part of September’s Young Creatives Month, the Shire of Kalamunda is looking for young artists interested in displaying, and selling, their artwork in a professionally-acclaimed gallery or entering an online youth art competition.

Local community groups also have an opportunity to get involved, with the Shire encouraging groups to put on creative events, or activities, linked to their own programs.

Shire president Andrew Waddell said the Young Creatives Month combined a number of successful youth events from recent years, including the Youth Arts Fest and the Jam Packed Film Festival.

The Youth Arts Fest Exhibition is open to young artists aged 16-25.

Free gallery space is being offered at the Zig Zag Gallery from September 2 to 18 for selected artists to display and sell their work.

If you are an interested artist, you need to live, work, study or participate in a club/group in the Shire of Kalamunda to apply and have a minimum of five artistic pieces to display and sell.
